Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka won the first doubles of the new year. They defeated the 5th pair of the world in final ranking 2012, Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears from the USA 7:6(4), 7:5.

“With Lucie we played together after a long time and it was really hard match. In the first set we were in the lead for the most of the time, but we didn´t win a few set points so we had to gain the victory in a tie-break,” Andrea said.

In the second set Czech couple was losing even 1:4. “We didn´t begin very well, but then we started to fight and took advantage of No-Ad and we managed to turn and win the set. We are happy that we well got going,” she just added. In the next round H + H will play against Alexandra Panova (RUS) and Galina Voskobojeva (KAZ).
